This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/xen-netback: prevent UAF in xenvif_flush_hash() to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-xen-netback-prevent-uaf-in-xenvif_flush_hash.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b01570fa43289c225e9f30f55292a9cf357cd929 Author: Jeongjun Park <aha310510@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Aug 23 03:11:09 2024 +0900 net/xen-netback: prevent UAF in xenvif_flush_hash() [ Upstream commit 0fa5e94a1811d68fbffa0725efe6d4ca62c03d12 ] During the list_for_each_entry_rcu iteration call of xenvif_flush_hash, kfree_rcu does not exist inside the rcu read critical section, so if kfree_rcu is called when the rcu grace period ends during the iteration, UAF occurs when accessing head->next after the entry becomes free. Therefore, to solve this, you need to change it to list_for_each_entry_safe.
